...Ward is dead," pleaded Barrister Jeremy Hutchinson last week. "Profumo is disgraced. And now I know your lordship will resist the temptation to take what I might call society's pound of flesh." It was no Antonio in the prisoner's dock at the Old Bailey, but cool, green-suited Christine Keeler (130 Ibs.), and the quality of mercy was not strained.

Costly Venture. The stamp habit is spreading overseas. Sperry & Hutchinson, oldest and biggest of the stamp companies (40% of the market), last week began handing out its stamps in Britain-not the usual S. & H. green stamps, but pink ones because a local stamp rival called Green Shield got there first. In violent opposition, Lord Sainsbury, boss of the big Sainsbury's grocery chain, is preparing to do bitter battle against the gum-backed invaders.

Coal and cars may be far apart, but Love's aptly named Consolidation Coal Co. is now Chrysler's largest shareholder with a 7.3% interest that Love is steadily increasing. Since 1961, Consol has pumped $45 million into Chrysler from profits piled up in 20 years of profitable Love management; the value of this investment has jumped to $86 million. Love himself has become chairman of both Consol...
...have an initial competitive advantage; then your rivals have stamps and you lose the advantage. But you're stuck with the stamps." They haven't seen anything yet. The U.S.'s MacDonald Stamp Co. (Plaid Stamps) is exploring the British market, and giant Sperry & Hutchinson (Green Stamps) will launch an assault this summer. More immediately. Great Universal Stores' Sir Isaac Wolfson now owns five small stamp companies, and is expected to begin issuing stamps in his 2.600 retail outlets...
